Well, Louisa, there are different types of extensions. Glued on, sewn in, and that other technique where the hair is glued to separate strands of hair. I have had extensions that were sewn in, in a horizontal weird manner, with some hair left out in front to conceal the weft and create a more natural look.
Regardless, it is NOT that hard to get an Ashanti look. Just buy the hair long enough, get the proper color that matches your hair, and get a REALLY GOOD quality of hair. I must definitely stress the quality of hair point, because trying to be cheap will have you ending up with thick, nasty hair that tangles in a snap. (I`ve learned my lesson) If you get Yaky hair, make sure that it is really YAKY. I bought that imitation doodoo, and I was mad three weeks later when I had to take it out. Oh yeah, and you must find a stylist who knows what they are doing. You would hate to have to buy all of this hair and then have to take it out because the stylist didn`t sew it in correctly, or it was too tight, etc.
I ended up taking my tracks out after 3 weeks, due to the hair becoming awfully tangled after I tried to wash my scalp with Head and Shoulders to kill the itchiness. Oh, and another thing. If you have sensitive scalp (like the flake issues) beware. Tracks can be your itchiest nightmare.
Anyways, have fun.:)
